No. There are timelags listing comments because i’ve set the site to “cache” the front-page quite aggresively. the bit at the foot of posts saying “x comments” only changes every 30 mins or so, and the “recent comments” updates every 5 mins.

if ppl are bugged by the 30mins lag, i was thinking of doing extra cleverness that un-caches just the number of comments.

Hello, there. I was giving our lot something to think about – it’s a new thing. You might find some of the comments on our most googled article funny/depressing. Tho admittedly the article (originally written 5 years ago now) was largely intended to create something like the responses there, it’s only the magic of WP comments that lets us see them

;-)

Honestly, I hope people don’t. First, because mine is just another opinion out there. Second, there are no hard, one-way-or-highway rules or laws when it comes to comments. You have to set your own policy. It’s your blog.

The key is to get people thinking about comments on their blogs and how they comment. The more we talk about it and think about it, the more likely we are to DO something about it.

And doing something nice about it helps make the world a better, nicer, squeakier cleaner place. Okay, well, at least a little better well-spoken and well-thought.

Thanks!

In one of my previous incarnations I was asked about a reply to a letter sent from a fellow Buddhist in China. His language had been intemperate and rude, and yet his question swas good. To which I said compose an answer, but do not send for at least ten days and consider if Cliff Richard would have sent it.

compose your message – hover your hand over the send button for 10 seconds – think: “would Cliff Richard or the Dalai Lama send this?” – send if the answer is still “yes”.
